This is a side project of mine. Use this as your SMTP server in a test environment to guarantee that your users don't receive test emails. Looking for feedback, especially on the security side.

Hi HN, Two months ago, we launched MailFrom.dev, a fake SMTP server for developers who want to test email sending without hitting real inboxes – think of it like a simpler, cheaper alternative to Mailtrap or Mailhog with a focus on ease of use. Since then: - We’ve had 55 developers sign up with 4 paid subscription active and 821 test emails sent - Improved stability, speed, and small features our early users needed - Worked hard to add roles (wich will be released later next week) What's improved: - Better UI to inspect headers, bodies, and attachments - Faster inbox refresh and sync between…

I've spent the last few months working on something I wish I'd had years ago. I kept running into the same issue: CI green, production mail broken. TLS handshake failures, DKIM alignment mismatches, SPF soft-fails ... the stuff that only surfaces when real mail servers are involved. Most test tools (Mailpit, MailHog) are catch-alls. They confirm "an email was sent" but don't validate the protocol. They also aren't designed for network-exposed environments: no auth, unprotected Web UI, easy to enumerate messages. VaultSandbox is my attempt at fixing that. It's a self-hosted SMTP gateway…

Hello Inbox▲283Hey HN, I built an email deliverability SaaS with a RAG system. It's trained on all my knowledge and hundreds of real deliverability use cases from 4+ years experience as an Email Deliverability Specialist on Upwork. It solves a frustration problem a lot of businesses are experiencing. I'm looking for feedback so let me know in the comments.

HookBox▲120Debugging webhooks and transactional emails can be slow and usually requires multiple tools. I built HookBox to solve this problem, providing instant endpoints, temporary inboxes, real-time capture, and request replay so both can be tested in one place. Would love to hear your feedback! — Egret
